Terse, TypeScript First Workflow Builder

Hi!

After months of building, we are now opening up Terse for beta/early access and made our repo public.

Terse is an Open Source (SU License) typescript first Zapier/n8n alternative built to work with Claude Code from the ground up.

We found that UI Workflow builders aren’t great for complex tasks and that developers (and now Sales Engineers!) much prefer staying in IDE’s + Claude Code + terminal. In addition, AI struggles at building complex GUI based workflows since it isn’t native code.

After integrating your tools, Terse will trigger a codegen and give you a strongly types SDK of you workspace. Every Slack Channel, Github Repo etc.. will have a corresponding type. Invalid jobs simply won’t compile.

In our beta, you can:

- Integrate tools and created a typed SDK of your Org. - Create jobs directly in your Cli/IDE with our Typescript SDK. - Trigger jobs with our in-house integration: Slack, Github, Linear etc… or our typed Webhook trigger - Deploy jobs serverlessly (we use Modal to host all jobs in their own sandbox). - Use our Skill to create, debug and improve your workflows with ease. - Use our AI Gateway (TerseAgent) to access your orgs workspace content. (Heavy ACL/guardrails built in). - Monitor all of your worklows directly with our cli or our web app. The web app also provides some lightweight Airflow-esque features such as manually triggering + re-running jobs.

We also have our Self-hosted option (Docker image) that allows you to use our product for free locally. We strip out the modal support and run jobs in child processes on your machine. Great to try the product without having to worry about integrating tools to a 3rd party. For more info about our hosting options, see: https://docs.useterse.ai/hosting.

Would love to hear feedback from the community. We are super early and we appreciate you giving us a shot.
